ROX-Filer Copy Command to CIFS

I'm working with the lead developer of antiX.  Since 2007 all its
releases have shipped with ROX-Filer and Pinboard as the distro
defaults.

Hoping to find help with a bogus ROX-Filer error message that can be
obtained when copying files to a cifs (Samba) share.  The error says
the copy failed, but in fact completes successfully.

antiX also ships with other file managers, SpaceFM and Midnight
Commander (mc).  The error message is not generated when using these
or the standard CLI "cp" command.

The problem seems to be caused by the way ROX-Filer copies files and
dirs using the command "cp -p".

There is a workaround mentioned in the Troubleshooting section of this
ROX reference guide.  Look in the sub-section "Errors when copying to
Windows partitions"
http://rox.sourceforge.net/desktop/book/export/html/1.html.
Unfortunately it cannot be used when mounting cifs (Samba) shares as
the "quiet" option is invalid.

Is there a way to force the "cp" rather than "cp -p"?

Alternatively, could an option be added to ROX-Filer-->Options-->Drag
and Drop-->(or similar) to make parameters to the "cp" command user
specifiable?
